"It's hard to talk about our game. We made a few mistakes. They scored and punished us. We created a few chances, but showed poor execution. Now we need to think about Fulham on Saturday and then prepare for the return leg. We are disappointed, but we still have 90 minutes at Stamford Bridge. I am sure that in two weeks we can change the situation," Pochettino was quoted as saying by the BBC.
